A Serious Threat to Your Home.
Severe storms and high winds are among the leading causes of roof damage in residential and commercial properties. When strong gusts of wind hit your home, they can tear off shingles, displace flashing, and even expose the underlying roofing materials. The result is a compromised roof system that leaves your property vulnerable to water intrusion, mold growth, and structural deterioration. Homeowners should be proactive in inspecting their roofs after any major wind or storm event to catch early signs of damage.
Shingle Damage and Uplift From High Winds High winds often target the most vulnerable parts of your roof—usually the edges and corners. As wind pressure builds, it can lift and curl shingles, break sealants, and cause shingle tabs to detach entirely. Once shingles are loosened, they provide a direct path for water to seep in, leading to costly roof leaks and water damage. Wind-damaged shingles also reduce the roof’s overall effectiveness, decreasing your home's protection from future storms. It's crucial to have a roofing expert assess any shingle damage promptly after a storm.
